Abstract: An interactive videotex system with distributed processing and storage of video picture information in nodes (12) disposed throughout a cable television distribution system. The nodes (12) are coupled to the feeder cable (30) of the cable distribution system. Each node (12) in the system receives a substantially identical copy of the interactive video picture information and related data from a regional processing center (4). The users at home televisions (38) associated with a particular node (12) interact directly with the video picture information in that node (12), rather than with the information stored in the regional processing center (4) or some other remote location, which enables the system to quickly display photographic quality images and complex graphics, as well as sound, at the users' televisions (38) in response to commands received by the users. The nodes (12) can also be used for decompressing compressed television programming and distributing the decompressed programming to home televisions (38) connected to the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for simultaneously outputting digital audio and MIDI synthesised music utilising a single digital signal processor. The Musical Instrumert Digital Interface (MIDI) permits music to be recorded and/or synthesised utilising a data file containing multiple serially listed program status messages and matching note on and note off messages. In contrast, digital audio is generally merely compressed, utilising a suitable data compression technique, and recorded. The audio content of such a digital recording may then be restored by decompressing the recorded data and converting that data utilising a digital-to-analog convertor. The method and apparatus of the present invention selectively and alternatively couples portions of a compressed digital audio file and a MIDI file to a single digital signal processor which alternately decompresses the digital audio file and implements a MIDI synthesiser. Decompressed audio and MIDI synthesised music are then alternately coupled to two separate buffers. The contents of these buffers are then additively mixed and coupled through a digital-to-analog convertor to an audio output device to create an output having concurrent digital audio and MIDI synthesised music.

Abstract: In a tightly coupled multiprocessor system, I/O interrupts are distributed to respective processors P in accordance with load conditions of the processors P without partiality to one of processors. Interrupt arbitration circuits 3 provided in respective processors P receive an interrupt request from an I/O device, effect interrupt arbitration using a parameter indicating the load condition of each processor P as a first interrupt priority PPR. If the arbitration fails to determine a sole processor P, additional arbitration finally selects a sole processor P on the basis of the second interrupt priority RRPR which is variable circularly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for the essentially damping-independent measurement of the density of liquids by means of ultrasound. An ultrasonic (US) beam is emitted by a US transceiver (2) through a measuring chamber (1) towards a US transducer (3), the US beam on its way to the US transducer (3) having to pass, prior to its passage through a liquid whose density is to be measured, a reference reflector (4) which emits a reference echo to the US transceiver (2) which is proportional to the irradiated intensity (i0) of the US beam. The reference echo is utilised to analyse the echo, which contains information on a sound wave resistance discontinuity, between the wall (6) in question of the measuring chamber (1) and the liquid in a liquid chamber (7) of the measuring chamber. This information can be used, once the set intensity (i0) of the US beam is known, to determine the reflection of the boundary layer "wall/liquid" from a single measured echo amplitude. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio data system (RDS) receiver is adapted, when a detection output of a detector circuit of the reception level of a broadcast wave indicates that the reception level of a broadcast wave has fallen below a specified value, to check a flag which indicates permission or prohibition of selection of a broadcasting station designated by frequency data in an AF list. When it is found as the result of the check that the flag is permitting selection of a broadcasting station, the receiver selects the broadcasting station. After the selection of the broadcasting station, the receiver checks its PI code. When its proaram is found to be different as the result of the check of the PI code, the receiver sets the flag into a state prohibiting selection of the broadcasting station and selects the broadcasting station of which the reception level fell below a specified value again.

Abstract: Errors or failures in a transmission system can be accurately predicted by a system (18) which processes error or failure data collected by the transmission system during uniform intervals to yield data indicative of the errors or failures during each of a plurality of non-uniform, overlapping intervals. The errors or failures measured during the non-uniform intervals are selectively weighted and summed within a neural network (22), trained with historical error or failure data, to yield a set of predictions, each representing the predicted number of errors or failures during each non-uniform interval. The predictions from the neural network (22) are then thresholded by a control unit (24) and used to raise an alarm which signals the possibility of error or failure in the transmission system.

Abstract: A digital video tape recorder records compressed image signals which include both intra-frame encoded image slices and motion compensated encoded image slices. The recorder receives the encoded data either in a format in which a portion of each frame is encoded using intra-frame techniques or in a format in which an entire frame of a group of frames is encoded using intra-frame techniques. Shuffling circuitry in the recorder recognizes the intra-frame encoded slices and reorders the slices as they are recorded such that a substantial portion of the intra-coded image slices will be recovered both in normal play mode and in trick play mode. For the one signal, these slices represent the intra-coded portion of each frame; for the other signal they represent the one intra-coded frame in the group of frames. In one embodiment of the invention, the trick-play mode is a three-times forward speed mode and the intra-coded slices are arranged such that substantially all of the intra-coded slices are recovered in trick-play mode.
